One thing I don't think people really understand about #COVID19 and hospitals is that the health system ROUTINELY operates at 85%+ capacity
There really isn't much wiggle room around

85% is the recommended safety capacity for acute care hospitals. Mine routinely run over 105%

There's good evidence that capacity around 80% prevents access block (ie: room for the new patients to come in before the old ones go out) which is a major drama for EDs, too, Gid. But that is "inefficient" so they tell us.

I imagine a lot of administrators are going to be panicking about their former efficiency targets right about now
